Complimentary Belay Lessons

(Orientation & Toprope Belay Instructions)

“What does belay mean?”

Belaying refers to a technique that controls the rope attached to a climber. It provides protection for a fall or allows for lowering after a climb.

The belay devices we use are called “Grigri’s” and they are attached to all of our ropes.

(Normally, the climber would have to know how to tie a figure 8 knot but our set up at NCC has auto-locking carabiners so you can just clip in & climb.)

“Why do you give complimentary belay lessons?”

At NCC, we want our climbers to get the most out of their time spent with us. We do have three Auto-Belays, but being able to belay opens a whole new world of opportunity for climbing.

If you were previously taught to belay and it’s been a while, or maybe you just need a refresher, our staff will gladly teach & remind you.
